If we are talking certain things, not so much might be correct. However, there are still things there. For example, when it comes to the discussion of maternity leave, the stats are pretty skewed. Very few men leave their jobs for this, while a much higher percentage of women do. Something worth looking into.[/quote]
That might be because men do not get preggo. Not the fault of any patriarchy, just evolution.

[quote]And as I've said before, a big thing feminism today is fighting for is not for female domination, but for equality on a social level.[/quote]
Although it still is tainted by those who give it a bad name. Acknowledging this, many feminists do little to quell these more radical feminists. Questions the priorities of many feminists, doesn't it?

[quote]Women are still the lesser gender in terms of rights globally. But, we are primarily focusing on 1st world countries. I definitely don't believe it as an issue that plagues men and women equally. Socially, women face more systemic oppression than men. I do agree that men face prejudices, but it's not quite the scale that women face. Especially if we talk about sexual intercourse and the stigmas a very sexually active woman faces from men AND women alike. Or that a lot of insults that we use in the english language are associated with… women. Gender inequality, women have the short end of the stick. Don't misunderstand me. Gender roles harms both men and women, however the roles of men are favorable in comparison. Fighting against the gender roles of women would successfully free men from their roles as well, no?[/quote]
Sure, I can see how women have it worse in other parts of the world, but for you to say that they don't have massive amounts of privileges above men here is downright ignorant.
Let's see:
-Male genital mutilation is acceptable
-Men are constantly seen as the oppressor
-Women get an average of 60% less time in prison
-In the US, men are required to enlist for the draft
-Men are seen as expendable (Drawing off previous point)
-Men are seen as bad fathers

Of course, women don't have alot of abortion rights, but that is about it. They have the right to vote, they have equal pay, and they are generally adored by society. On the subject of sexual activity, I can see where the stigma comes from. Generally, women have a much easier time securing a partner, so it is seen, by some men, that "getting the girl" is an accomplishment. As for the fact that there are more gender-based insults associated specifically towards women rather than men, I'm going to have to ask for some examples. Looking at it now, it seems that men have the short end of the stick, don't they?

[quote]This would be a good thing. Representation of women in the media is awful because it also hurts men.[/quote]
Media doesn't really matter. Even if it did, it still favors women.

[quote]And feminism, I mean actual feminism, agrees that these things should be fought against. A man is laughed at for reporting rape… Why do you think that is? It is most likely because of gender expectations that women are "weaker" and could not possibly rape a man. You won't get an argument with me on these things. I am feminist, egalitarian, etc. Many things. And it's not necessarily men always providing for the family. Women as a breadwinner or sole breadwinner are on the rise. So the expectation of men to provide for the family has gone down. And still, many of these problems stem from the gender expectations of women, which damage men in these ways, no?

[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duluth_model]Actually, the reason men get laughed at for reporting rape is because they are seen as the people who cause it.[/url] Also, why are you both a feminist and an egalitarian? Why not just be egalitarian and not have your movement correlate specifically towards women, and rather towards equality?
